In photos from the event, North played Simba in a performance celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Lion King.

The young Hulu star had her curly hair straightened and added a pop of gold to her face with glittery eyeliner.

She wore all yellow, with a baggy hoodie and shorts paired with fluffy shoes and a mane-like hood.

North was supported by her famous family for the show, with her dad Kanye West, 46, spotted arriving at the show without his wife Bianca Censori, 29.

Plenty of Kardashians were also in attendance, including matriarch Kris Jenner, 68, who held up her phone to film her granddaughter on stage.

Providing even more support, Kourtney Kardashian, 45, and her husband Travis Barker, 48, stood beside Kris, clapping and cheering as they watched North perform.

The Kardashian-Jenner gang gave North a standing ovation, rising from their seats among the rest of the audience.

North’s mom, Kim Kardashian, 43, also made it clear that she was there for her daughter, posting a snap of their backstage passes on her Instagram Stories.
